Giant

I vote some sort of winch/inline

Done wheel bearings today. 

What a shit fight. Last owner tightened the ever living shit out of the lug nuts. Que blow torch and my big power bar.

At some point a seal has failed to do just that. Found a bit of water sitting in the hub.

Lift kit is here 

The 60 looks a bit stupid now

So much guard clearance atleast a foot.

Lift kit finally on its why from oz.

2inch anti inversion shackles. Now to find some adjustable shocks. 

Anyone know when boc gas and gear is having their next sale ? I need welder

Slowly ticking things off the wof sheet.

Today was brake lines

Well iv decided what direction this project is going in. Off road. Slowly chewing though the parts list. 2inch anti inversion shackles with longer shocks and 35s for a start.

Made some progress on the rust. All the small holes have been filled. Took a wire wheel to them rust killed filled with fibre glass and hit with some primer. 

Pics to follow 

I am seriously pondering the metal state of the last owner. found a patch of bog covering perfect steel no rust, no dents. Nothing. 

Well i still haven't started on the rust.

But I did start on the engine bay. One new thermostat and one less ac system(didn't work)

Was not aware of that. Cheers 

Anyone got a spot weld cutter or drill bit ?

Hell I might just pull it off and keep it handy in case it is needed

I have a high stop light that does not work. failed a wof for it. Can I just rip said high stop off?

i don't like your chances of finding front doors that aren't fucked, it's like they had rust fromthe factory. 

 

 

What the hell was toyota up to in the 80s

As for the never seeing them iv had 3 different people try to buy it so far for more than I paid. 

Yeah I'm planing on fixing it properly. Hopefully getting a ac dc tig next week and getting in to it. The 2 front doors are pretty fubar. The rest I can save hopefully .

One plus is the solid frame haven't found rust on it yet.

Cheers I'm after both front fenders and both front doors. Last owner was a total hack and welded over rust without cutting it out. I'm in Nelson 

Or he just slapped 30kg of bog over it 

Where abouts are you located? 

How are the front doors and front fender? mine are rooted. Check the build page.

Hers some more

Rust

Might need to get a tetnis shoot after this

Well i went rust hunting today found a fair bit of it. Going to start cutting it out Tuesday.
